One in three: Austria's women suffer from violence - a sign from Austria!

Austria Vienna sent an impressive signal against violence against women during their home game against Altach as part of the “Every Third” campaign. This initiative, which is carried out in collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Social Affairs, Health, Care and Consumer Protection, drew attention to the alarming figures: one in three women in Austria will be a victim of physical or sexual violence in the course of their life. That's why special flyers are distributed in the stadium that mark every third seat in the north stand. These flyers are a powerful call to raise awareness and take responsibility laola1.at reported.

“Man speaks up” campaign

The campaign is supported by the “Man Speaks Up” campaign, which primarily targets men and provides information about violence perpetrated by men. The aim is to also identify offers of help and develop action strategies to prevent violence. Kurt Gollowitzer, President of Austria Vienna, emphasizes the shocking effect of these figures and calls on all men to take responsibility: “It is shocking that one in three women in Austria has already been confronted with violence,” he explained. The presence of this campaign will be continued in other events such as theaters and opera houses, which will create further visibility for this important issue, as will the documents from UN Women confirm.
